Infrastructure update

 

     Updating Toronto's aging infrastructure is a top priority to me. The current sewage system cannot handle heavy rains which flood the streets and homes. You can recall the winter storm of 2013 which also devastated many parts of Toronto including Willowdale. I'll ensure the timely maintenance of the roads and traffic lines are clearly visible all throughout the year. I would also like to start a project to bury hydro lines.

BACKUP POWER FUND

​

70% of dwellings in Willowdale are high-rise apartments.  With these demographics, backup power is no longer something we can see as a luxury. When emergencies happen, we need to be ready to support our community.

I am committed to researching an emergency hot line and a backup plan-

 

     · I would like to see billboards in each ward with hot lines connected so residents can be updated with the needed information.

   

     · The creation of funding that supports 1/3 of cost for emergency backup generating system. This will provide the minimum power for 20 regular days. This can provide our residents with the power to use 1 elevator, water, and minimum uses of stove, refrigerator, and light.
